A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day

Free Republic made its debut in September, 1996, and the forum was added in early 1997.   Over 100,000 people have registered for posting privileges on Free Republic, and the forum is read daily by tens of thousands of concerned citizens and patriots from all around the country and the world.

A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day was introduced on June 24, 2002. It's only a small room in JimRob's house where we can get to know one another a little better; salute and support our military and our leaders; pray for those in need; and congratulate those deserving. We strive to keep our threads entertaining, fun, and pleasing to look at, and often have guest writers contribute an essay, or a profile of another FReeper.

On Mondays please visit us to see photos of A FEW OF FR'S VETERANS AND ACTIVE MILITARY

If you have a suggestion, or an idea, or if there's a FReeper you would like to see featured, please drop one of us a note in FR mail.

We're having fun and hope you are!

Democrats: Time's running out to lose!

Regarding Iran, this from the AP:

President Bush told Iran on Monday that nations worldwide won't back down from their demand that Tehran suspend uranium enrichment.

"Iran's leaders have a clear choice. We hope they will accept our offer and voluntarily suspend these activities so we can work out an agreement that will bring Iran real benefits," Bush said a day before leaving for Vienna, Austria, where he will talk with European Union officials who are leading efforts to resolve the nuclear dispute.

"If Iran's leaders reject the offer, they will face action before the U.N. Security Council and progressively stronger political and economic sanctions," Bush said during a commencement speech at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy.

Regarding North Korea, this from another AP dispatch:

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice warned North Korea on Monday it will face consequences if it test-fires a missile thought to be powerful enough to reach the West Coast of the United States.

"It would be a very serious matter and, indeed, provocative act should North Korea decide to launch that missile," Rice said amid indications that the North Koreans could launch an intercontinental ballistic missile at any moment.

Regarding Iraq, yet another AP dispatch said this:

The U.S. military fired on suspected militants from an AC-130 gunship above the insurgent stronghold of Ramadi on Monday while hundreds of U.S. and Iraqi troops punched into an eastern section of the violent city.

The military drive was the latest step by the combined force to strengthen its presence in the neighborhoods that have been no-go zones controlled by the Sunni-led insurgency.

Now, let's turn to another trouble spot -- the Democrat Party. While the U.S. is on offense in Iraq, Iran and North Korea -- the latter two still dues-paying members of the Axis of Evil -- top Democrats in Washington are trying as hard as they can to erase any doubt that their party is the underbelly of America. This should play well in November.

Last week the Democrats had their butts handed to them when the House and Senate soundly rejected Democrat plans for surrendering in Iraq, so Democrats are back for more -- offering another cut-and-run plan. It's almost a cut-and-paste of last week's cut-and-run plan.

Commanders on the ground should determine troop levels unless commanders on the ground disagree with Commander Carl Levin, who's proposing a 6-month timetable to begin a "phased" "redeployment" out of Iraq. Democrats insist this plan is not based on timetables. Withdrawal must begin in 6 months. Which is not a timetable. It's a calendar-table.

Democrats insist it's not a withdrawal plan. It's a "redeployment" plan -- redeploying U.S. forces in Iraq to that major terror hotspot, Okinawa. To teach al-Qaeda a lesson, we could stage a D-Day-like invasion -- storming the beaches of Aruba.

The Democrat principle for deploying troops is simple. If there's violence, we redeploy. Out. If there's peace, we don't redeploy. We stay -- as long as we're not needed, and not a day longer.

Iraq has had three free elections with higher turnout than in America, Saddam's headed for death row, Iraqi forces are kicking Islamist butt and Zarqawi's gone, so time's running out for America to surrender.

Hillary, eying an '08 run, is seeking the "middle ground." She's trying to figure out how to surrender to both sides.

Kerry, eying an '08 run, tried last week to out cut-and-run the cut-and-runners. His proposal called for all U.S. troops to swiftboat out of Iraq by year's end. The proposal swept to defeat -- getting 6 votes. Now horseface says he changed his mind. He's pushing another date for pushing troops out of Iraq: July 1, 2007. 12:01 a.m. EDT. Five-minute grace period being considered.

For months, libbies thought taking back Congress and sending Bush and Cheney to Leavenworth in leg irons and making Nancy Pelosi president was in the bag. Then came a tragic turn of events. Zarqawi croaked. Stockpiles of ethical lapses were found hiding in a Democrat's freezer. Right next to Harry Reid's boxing tickets. Rove is cleared of involvement in the Great Blizzard of 1888. Bu$Halliburton flies to Baghdad to drill for more oil and meet with Carlyle Group/Skull & Bones/PNAC 'Joooos' to plot more 'illegal invasions.'

Amid the pervasive gloom of good news, the only glimmer of hope for Democrats were reports in recent days of two U.S. soldiers kidnapped and murdered by Cindy Sheehan's "freedom fighters." On Monday, before we learned the two soldiers had been murdered, "al-Qaeda in Iraq" posted an Internet message claiming it had captured the soldiers, adding that "we shall give more details" in the "next few days" -- you know, the part where the soldiers each got Bibles and were allowed to pray 5 times a day.

The deadly episode gave Democrats something to crow about. No post- Zarqawi honeymoon for Chimpy! Just wait for the snuff video! Democrats really get off on snuff videos. And broadcasts of the latest U.S. military death toll and how we've reached another 'grim milestone.'

It's why liberals are hot for photos of flag-draped coffins, or images of servicemen wearing that other uniform -- the body bag. They love the troops.

With this whole debate on Iraq backfiring on Democrats, Democrats are livid, angry, resentful. More than ever. They're so livid, Bush would have to erect a monument to Zarqawi at Arlington Cemetery to make them happy again.

Poor, poor losercrats.

Anyway, that's...

I also have your poison ivy .. Picked it up Saturday (same day when I impaled my leg). I was pulling it out for about an hour but had (I THOUGHT) everything covered. The oil must have gone thru the pants & long sleeved shirt I had on.

Millions!

LISTEN TO ODB RADIO: Real | MP3 | WMA

READ: Luke 12:13-34

Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. —Luke 12:34 The British film Millions tells the engaging story of two brothers who find a bag full of money with no apparent owner. The younger boy wants to use it to help the poor, while the older sibling sees it as his ticket to popularity and the good life. What unfolds is a story that vividly contrasts the freedom of a generous spirit with the frustration of a grasping hand.

In a sermon based on Genesis 3, my pastor said, “Our hands have been clenched from the fall.” Jesus’ teachings about faith and generosity seem deliberately intended to pry them open. He said, “Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom. Sell what you have and give alms; provide yourselves money bags which do not grow old, a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches nor moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” (Luke 12:32-34).

The words of our Lord may sound so radical that we find it difficult to figure out how to put them into practice. But if we honestly seek His guidance, He will guide our steps and guard our hearts from worry.

I suspect that the generous boy in that movie had open hands long before millions fell into them. —David C. McCasland

One grace each child of God can show
Is giving from a willing heart;
Yet, if we wait till riches grow,
It may be that we’ll never start.  —D. De Haan

There is more power in the open hand than in the clenched fist.

[lysie]

Good morning.

[Dr. Scarpetta]

Spenser is doing great. We didn't get another dog after Molly passed away.

[ConorMacNessa]

Great thread, Dolly - insightful analysis from JohnHuang2 as always.

[Common Tator]

I read the other day that the Today Show ratings are unchanged. That I would bet has surprised the suits at CBS.

That brings to mind an old broadcast truism.

If the audience didn't leave when you left, it will not show up when you re-appear elsewhere.

Katie can not be a reason people watch the Today show.

As I look back, I think it can be said that Katie Couric may have been the original News Babe. If that is what she really was, then it that explains why there was no drop in the Today Show audience when she left. She is no longer a babe. What she is may begin with a b... but babe is not the proper word.

[Mama_Bear]

Godd morning you two! Thanks for another great read.

[Mama_Bear]

"Good" morning. Darned fingers just don't type well first thing in the morning. :-(

[Grampa Dave]

Each day, week, month and year, the MSM loses its audience of Americans and its advertisers.

So each day, week, month and year, the MSM becomes weaker and less effective as a PR arm of the DNC.

you know I always wondered what JH2 looks like myself. I am not sure if that is he or not..I am guessing Billie made up the graphic that I used for background.

Grandkids still there? I can't believe you saw Nanny McFee 4 times. I liked it once.. & maybe could go for twice... but.. what we don't do for our grandkids.

A little different roll for Colin isn't it?

[Diver Dave]

Arriving late again, but wanted to commend you both for the great essay and graphic presentation.

Temperature has cooled down to 90 degrees at 10:20 pm after reaching 107 late this afternoon. Gonna be 108 tomorrow and 109 on Sat. Thermostat broke so I had to hotwire it to operate the AC. Perspiration is rolling off like sweat, but it's still a lot easier to wipe the sweat off my brow than shoveling snow in the winter.

[JohnHuang2]

I have this saying: If it were any better, it wouldn't be any good. AWESOME JOB, DOLLYCALI! Bravo!! Just logged in, so I haven't read the replies, but here's a big THANKS to Y'ALL for dropping by!

Massive (((((((((((((((((((((((((group hug)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))!!!
